ASA, multiple context, backup all configurations

xiaoliangyue — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 11:18:46 GMT

hi,

on ASA, there are 3 contexts, is there a command to backup all configurations at the same time? for command copy run ftp, I have to switch to every context to issue it.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Unfortunately there is no command to do that. You will have to write a script to log in to each context and backup each context.

One other option could be to save the "show tech" output to a TFTP (or FTP) server.

This will have all context's config but you will need to do manual editing before restoring/pasting it to the contexts.

Late reply but just for anyone else looking for this information:

You can do this from the system context, the configs for the default admin ctx and the other contexts are defined there and is normally a file on the flash.

I normally copy system:running-config and disk0:/admin.cfg, disk0:/ctx1.cfg and so on to a tftp-server.

The system context uses the interfaces and routing from the admin context to do this.
